Launcher pro or ADW text icons - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've seen a few people in the show us your homescreen thread who have text icons for the apps in their dock, I.e. sms, phone, net etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction to getting them? I have both adw and launcher pro plus so either would be good(although my preference would be for adw) thanks in advance.

Look in the Market under ( A home/ Open Home Simple theme)

Will I be able to use those icons in either launcher pro or adw? Or will I need panda or open home to use it?

Or....
You might be talking about "dreamlyfe design lpt" (try googling it).
I wish I can put up links but as a new use here, I'm not allowed, "yet".

sorry u had to buy that, u coulda googled text icons for android, thats how i found mine. it led me to googling TallMin by lekky who has a ton of free text icons

Also, in addition to tallmin, search for simptext here on xda. Mine are inspired by both
Let me know if you want me to u/l the ones I've got

I like the look of your icons, the are very clean....if you could upload them that would be amazing

Checkout the icons in my sig.

Nice work bro, now I have many options, lol....would you guys know how to use custom icons for launcher pro (not in the dock but everywhere else?) I really like launcher pro but adw allows you to customize all the icons/theme so that's what I'm using for now

Wow I'm really diggin the green and red sets that you uploaded, decal. Not necessarily a big fan of either colors (i'm more of a blue guy myself but that can easily be changed) but I think it's the fact that I can actually read them without squinting! lol.

Yeah if you have photo shop you can also make these. I took the launcher pro icons and opened them and made them black to go with my dark theme.

I am using these icons: http://digitalstylewars.com/?page_id=209
with Launcher Pro. Launcher Pro also lets you set custom icons. Just do the following:
1 - Menu->Add or long-press the screen to choose "Shortcuts"
2 - Choose "Applications"
3 - Choose an app.
4 - Touch the icon and choose any of the text icons you have downloaded.

App drawer question

I seen a pic of this somewhere in the development section and cant seem to find it again. I was wondering if there is a flashable file to have your app drawer scroll from the top and the bottom. you can see the apps in like a starwars type style like a the begining of the movie. I hope someone knows what I am talking about and can help. TIA
[EDIT] I have attached a picture

Looks like the 3D drawer settings in Launcher Pro

You just have to hit menu and go to preferences, then advanced settings.

You can get the same effect using ADW Launcher, and ADW Ex. My personal preference is ADW Ex, it is an amazing launcher, and it is extremely fast.

Might be stupid but can't find answer

Running gingerbread-evo-deck [1.0][2.3.3 Stable][1.2w][2.3.4 Beta] with Tiamat kernel ... All I want to know is how do I get some of these themes with different home screen set ups and screen locks? Can I use any of them on this rom and how in the world do I do it? Sorry for stupid questions but I have searched and can't find anything specific to what I am asking. Thanks in advance fam.

Ok, I got the themes thing down. Now I'm seeing different lock screens, different homescreen menus, as far as the bottom of the screen with phone, internet, mail and things like that. How can I get the ones I'm liking?

you can also flash themes. those change lockscreens, and other non-apk things that theme chooser can't. not sure what ur talking about 'bottom of the screen'.

I just flashed cyanogenmod and at the bottom of the main screen I have a phone icon, menu icon and the internet icon. But I've seen others that have phone, Gmail, internet and a few others

That is all in the settings of the launcher you are using. I'm using launcher pro and have a different layout with the matted blues theme. Lock screen is widgetlocker. (Highly recommend) With battery status widget and minimal text widget.

I think you're talking about docks, widgetlocker themes, and whatnot. These aren't included in themes, people gather them from different places and put them together.
Depending on what home app you're using, you may be able to change the dock background. All home replacement apps (at least the major, reputable ones) allow for changing of dock icons. Head over to the Android Themes section and check out the stuff there. The "Post Your Homescreen" thread would be a good place to look and get ideas. I'm sure there's some noob guide to theming.
If you want your lockscreen to look like the screenshots you see, get Widgetlocker. It's around $2, but more than worth it. There's a thread of themes to change your sliders, check it out if you decide to buy the app. Also check out the FAQ thread for WidgetLocker to help you figure it out.
The three most popular home replacement apps are LauncherPro/LauncherPro Plus, ADW Launcher/ADW Ex, and Go Launcher Ex. My personal favorite is ADW Ex, a lot of people are die-hard LP+ users. I personally don't care for Go, it felt kind of clunky and tacky to me, but a lot of people like it because it has the features of paid launchers for free.
All of the home apps I mentioned allow for changing the dock background except for the free ADW (as far as I know). You can find dock backgrounds and icons here on xda in the themes section.
Have fun!

And here are the icons if you want to use them I did not make these. All credit goes to ManUp. He did a great job on them. Do not flash this zip, just open it up and the icons will be there.

Not at all, actually I was gonna ask you where you got the 960*800 MB wall. When I was on CM7, I would only run the nightlies that Matted Blues was compatible with... absolutely my favorite theme evar. The only version of that wallpaper I could find was too small, you mind attaching it for me?
I wear dresses and wax my eyebrows, but that doesn't make Matted Blues girly

[Q] Strongsteve odex blue with tw launcher

I love this Strongsteve odex blue ROM and have been tweaking it for a couple of weeks.
Is it possible to keep the 5 icon dock but switch the app drawer to 4X4? The app drawer just looks a little too busy to me with a 5X5 setup.
Thank in advance to anyone who might know how to do this.

Not that I have seen. Its one or the other. Sorry.!

The workaround I found was to use launcher pro (This preserves all of the blue icons in Strongsteves ROM) and the only difference is the app drawer scrolls vertically. But I keep the 5 icon dock and get a 4X4 app drawer.
I am happy with this workarpound. Life is good

I use launcher pro and my drawer scrolls horizontally. check your setting, i dont prefer vertical anymore lol

There is a zip linked in the original post on the ROM thread that will switch the TW back to the regular method.
That should do exactly what you need!

Replacing App Icons - Possible?

Hi all,
Is there any way to change the icon for an app? The one in question is GO SMS... I don't like the green icon, ruins my blue theme!
I understand I may have to mess with the app itself, or install another app.. I don't mind really. I am quite technically minded but im new to android.
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

I think apex OR nova launcher and then you can use app Metrostation to color and icon

You can use Nova&Apex launcher. Long click on the app and than change click on the icon and choose the one u want to. This will only replace the desktop icon not the one in the launcher. replacing the drawer icon is a bit difficult. i hope i was able to help.

Thanks for your help guys. I did end up using Nova Launcher to do this, works well!

Have you all checked out ADW lately

Oh my Google!! Have you all seen ADW Launcher lately? IT IS NICE!! Oh my Google!! You can actually have the dock bar on the bottom in landscape mode!! You have no idea how long and hard I've been wanting that. That will go GREAT with my Windows setup on my Nexus 7. :good:As you can see the dock is on the side. Well ADW Launcher allows it on the bottom. I have never seen that. LoL!!
I'm so going to give them another try. The UI for the Widgets is also nice. Good bye Apex:crying:, hello ADW:good:. They're coming back from just being a Gingerbread Launcher. :highfive:
I was missing the 4D vertical App Drawer stock Android used to have. So I was lyk since I bought ADW EX I might as well go use it. I have a pretty simple home screen on my phone anyways. So I download it and see all this new stuff and I'm lyk WOAH!! Megaton High five-core!!:highfive:
I thought I reignite such an old favorite I found!!:angel: I didn't think anyone was using it since I haven't seen it in screen shot post. Only been seeing Apex, Nova. LoL!! :laugh:

yea i been using it i loved adw ex
only issue with it right now is trying to change the icon
while the icon is on the homescreen but its nice
